Is your puppy between 4 and 8 months old and ready to begin their training journey? This class provides the perfect foundation for balanced obedience, setting your puppy up for success as they grow into a well-behaved companion.
Over the course of 4 x 90minute group lessons, you’ll learn how to communicate effectively with your puppy, developing a clear relationship while gaining the knowledge and experience to teach essential life rules. We’ll also focus on practical skills like proper leash handling, appropriate greetings (with both people and dogs), and understanding how to build active engagement with your puppy. Additionally, you’ll work on foundational obedience exercises such as sit, down, come, and heel, setting your puppy up for success as they grow.
With small class sizes, each puppy gets the attention they need to thrive in a structured environment. This class will equip you with the tools for building a strong foundation in both obedience and your relationship with your puppy.
